GFY Crowdsourced Gift Guide - Over £200

Welcome to GFY’s annual gift guide series. A crowdsourced project where we look to you for the best gift ideas and purchases of 2024.

In this guide we share the best gifts and purchases according to you, over £200.

‍

The aim of the guides

• To reduce waste by giving loved ones things they want and need.

• To save you money by recommending high-quality but affordable items based on your feedback.

• To support independent retailers where possible.

‍

How the lists work

• You submit the best purchases you've made and gifts you've received on Instagram stories.‍
• We count responses and list up to 10 items per price range.
• Where possible, we find an independent retailer to link to in addition to a mainstream retailer. See the 'Indie' link for this.
• Where affiliate links are available, we will use them but this will not inform what is featured.
• We have found the best prices at the time of publication.
